In SW Wisconsin in the 1950's, we built terraces using and H or M pulling a two bottom plow.

Fuel and time were cheap then.

I'll add my thanks for the interesting pics. I never saw a machine like that either. #005 is a good angle.

What is that contraption you are using and what is the purpose? Never seen anything like that here in Ky.

Do you have a stationary picture of what you're pulling. I haven't seen that before either and could use something that would make it easier to terrace in the hills I'm getting ready to work. randy

Hell of a rig! Looks like it was dreamed up by Rube Goldberg&Sons.

Bear in mind, that where I live wind erosion isn't problem, but I cannot figure how if you fluff the dirt and make terraces...you can help things.....due to the fact that fluffed dirt is now loose to blow away. If the idea is to control water erosion....doesn't loose soil wash easier than solid soil held with last years trash?

Great pics, Cowman! Gotta say, though, it looks a mite dry!

Hey Cowman, that's good looking dirt. If you did that down here in the Ozarks they would think you were starting a rock quary.

Paul, I have a neighbor that is 10 years older than I. He was telling me once when he was going to now MSU, SMS at the time in the Ag Dept. They went on a field trip to a place between my house and Bois D'Arc the farmer was my Dads first cousin. They were terracing a field and Joe said it looked real bad. The teacher got up beside Elmer and said Mr. Keith are you going to terrace your whole place, and Elmer said no we are going to keep the rest to make a living on.

What is terracing? I have never heard of it before or seen it before. (Not that I have seen that much)At least not here in IL but that doesn"t meant it isn"t done here. I thought you were just pulling a plow real fast until I spotted the PTO shaft. Just being nosey. Shaggy

Shaggy, I went north out of Effingham to Chicago last week and you can look off I-57 to the right or left and you can see all the way to the horizon. If they did put in a terrace up that way, they'd have to build a bridge over it. I never seen such and so much flat country. Harley
